3/4 cup butter, softened |
1 3-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 egg, beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
purple, blue, yellow and pink gel paste colorings |
12 lollipop sticks |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth and set aside. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture. Stir until soft dough forms. Divide dough into fourths. Tint each with a different food color. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
2. Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls. For each cookie, place one ball of each color together and roll to make one large ball. Shape into a 12-inch-long rope; starting at one end, coil rope to make a 2-3/4 inch round cookie. Place 3 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Insert lollipop sticks into bottoms of cookies.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden.
